Pic stars Robert Downey Jr., Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Bobby Cannavale and is based on an original idea and screenplay by Favreau. Karen Gilchrist and Aldamisa co-chairman Sergei Bespalov will produce, while Aldamisa and Mark Manuel’s Kilburn Media will finance.

Story follows a man who loses his chef job and starts up a food truck to reclaim his artistic promise and estranged family at the same time. Johansson will play Molly, the restaurant manager and sometimes love interest of Favreau’s character, chef Carl Casper.

Production is set to begin July 8 in Los Angeles.

“Scarlett is a tremendous talent and I’m honored to be collaborating with her again. I’m so fortunate to be working with such a fine ensemble,” Favreau said.
